Complete with all fold-out maps. Exlibris Dale Morgan. Inscribed by Wheat to Morgan on the front free endsheet of Volume 1: "To Dale L. Morgan, with every good wish Nov. 12, 1957 Carl I. Wheat." Excellent association copy. Volume 1: The Spanish Entrada to the Louisiana Purchase, 1540-1804. - Volume 2: From Lewis and Clark to Fremont, 1804-1845. - Volume 3: From the Mexican War to the Boundary Surveys, 1846-1854. - Volume 4: From the Pacific Railroad Surveys to the Onset of the Civi War, 1855-1860. - Volume 5: From the Civil to the Geological Survey. This five volume work describes the maps of Western America from the earliest cartographic conjectures to Spanish explorations of the fifteenth century, through early exploration and overland travel up to the beginnings of the great surveys and the Civil War. Morgan's contribution to this classic work was greater than is generally recognized. From the forewords to the individual volumes it seems that Morgan functioned as an unofficial editor and research fellow. Wheat gratefully acknowledged his liberal contributions of information, footnotes, and editorial work. Of the text itself, chapter 36 on Mormon maps in the fourth volume, and all of volume five (two books) was Morgan's work. Additionally, because Wheat was victimized by several strokes, about one-half of the second volume and ninety percent of the third is apocryphally attributed to Morgan's authorship, though he claimed only the complete volume five on his own bibliography in the Morgan Papers.

ONE OF THE GREAT WORKS OF CARTOGRAPHIC HISTORY -- easily the most important work on Western American maps from 1540 to the Civil War. "Wheat" (as it is known) is the ne-plus-ultra of its genre, and takes pride of place as the preeminent work on this subject, surely never to be surpassed. Comprising more than 1,600 pages and featuring more than 300 high-quality reproductions of rare maps and plans (some double-page), plus a "Bibliocartography" describing 1,302 maps, "Wheat" is nothing short of epic. Howell ("California 50" no. 1655) assigns justifiable praise: "A truly monumental work on the cartography of the West, from the Spanish Entrada to the Geological Survey of 1877. It was the culmination of a quarter-century of research into the historical geography of the vast Transmississippi area by one of California's leading scholars. Beautifully printed and illustrated with over 300 reproductions (several in color) of historically important maps from public and private collections." Designed by Edwin and Robert Grabhorn and beautifully printed on fine paper (vol. 1 by the Grabhorn Press, the others by Taylor, Taylor and James), the edition was limited to 1000 copies. Our set is in such excellent state that it (almost) resembles a facsimile reprint, save for some unimportant brown offsetting on the pastedowns. CONTENTS: Vol. 1.

First edition limited to 1000 copies. Carl Wheat's Mapping of the Trans-Mississippi West is a comprehensive and readable cartographic history of the American West. The first three volumes of the work are by necessity bulky and out sized to accommodate the many maps contained with their covers. These beautifully printed books present a truly graphic picture of the exploration and peopling of the vast unknown land west of the Mississippi. The author does not merely present a catalog of significant maps of each era but tells the exciting story of many facets of history that resulted in their making-of the hard journeys, the hazardous exploits, the motivation, the mysticism, the misunderstandings and the strange blend of fact, imagination, false geographic concept and political necessity which were consummated in the engraver's work. These volumes will provide exciting text for the casual reader and have become eminent source book for the student and scholar. Condition: A near fine set.
